Win 7 Slow boot up

[Melvin18]

Usually win 7 takes about a min or so to boot up/Switch on But my Pc take like 10min or so. I have cleared all the cache files hoping it would boot faster , but no it still takes a hell lot of time to boot up.Not just switch on but also shut down takes a lot of time. After switching on the desktop takes another 5 min to load all the icons and connect to the internet.i was using my pc and suddenly there was a power cut because of which it didn't shut down properly.I am experience this problem since then. Can anyone help me fix the problem? Thank You.

Go in task manager go to start up and start disabling things or buy a ssd

There's no "Startup" in Windows 7 task manager.

Press Win+R to open Run menu, then type msconfig there and click OK. And there you'll see Startup where you could try to switch everything off.

If that will not help then you can look for things that slows your boot by installing Windows Performance Toolkit from Windows SDK, run "xbootmgr -trace boot" then analyze results (launching the "xperf boot_BASE+CSWITCH_1.etl" command)

But first check SMART of your hard drive

Try to repair or restore. This sounds like your pagefile or RAM has some issues going on.
